Books like Without mercy by Gary Provost


Without Mercy traces the sordid series of events surrounding the murders of Art Venecia, the owner of a Florida restaurant, and his 84‑year‑old mother. The narrative centers on Dee Casteel, a waitress at the International House of Pancakes, who endured heavy daily alcohol consumption and fell under the influence of Allen Bryant, Venecia’s live‑in lover. Casteel aided Bryant in orchestrating Venecia’s killing and later participated in the plot to eliminate his mother to cover the crime. When the truth began to surface, Casteel recorded a confession to her daughter in front of a witness, prompting the unraveling of the case. All four involved—Casteel, Bryant, the hired hit‑men, and an accomplice—are now awaiting execution for their roles in the murders.
